Pathfinder

PathfinderIt is a key equipment in the fields of power maintenance and geological exploration, mainly used for locating cable paths, detecting burial depths, and detecting cable fault types (such as open circuits, short circuits, etc.)Its working principle is based on physical techniques such as pulse reflection and time-domain reflection (TDR), which determine the fault location by analyzing signal changesThe device has a graphical interface, automatic data processing function, convenient operation, and high accuracy.PathfinderMeets the standards of the power industry, can adapt to working environments ranging from -10 ℃ to+40 ℃, and is equipped with high-energy lithium batteries to ensure battery life.

Technical principles and working methods

1. 1.

   Signal analysis technology：
   • Using ultra-low frequency signal injection or intermittent oscillation, the cable path and fault point are determined by detecting current changes or reflected signals.
   • Some models support passive detection and can identify pipelines within a depth of 10 meters.

2. 2.

   hardware configuration：
   • The core components include transmitter, sensor, and receiver.
     Output power ≥ 100W, impedance matching cable characteristics, signal frequency is a 15KHz sine wave, using intermittent oscillation mode.
